Direction: Read the passage and answer the question.
Gandhiji recognised that, while all men should have equal opportunity, all did not have the same capacity. Some had the ability to earn more than others. But he believed that those who had talent should use it wisely and well. Gandhiji said that he would allow a man of intellect to earn more and not suppress his talent. But it was his view that the bulk of his larger earnings should go to the common fund. Those with talent and opportunity would find their fulfillment as trustees. Gandhiji extended this concept of trusteeship to cover all fields of life.

The meaning of ‘Trustee’ is a
- person to whom another’s property or management of another’s property is entrusted
- state official who executes will and trusts
- persons having confidence
- number of trusts
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - person to whom another’s property or management of another’s property is entrusted
A trustee is a person to whom property, or the management of property, is entrusted for the benefit of others. This matches Gandhiji's idea that the talented hold their surplus earnings in trust for society; a trustee need not be a state official, and the word does not mean a person having confidence.
